Yeah so the friend that had the Rx-8, just got a brand spanking new Black Sti. I guess I'm pretty much screwed those cars handle good and are fast in straight lane. I was wondering when is the break in period over. And by how much would I get my *** handed by him even from a roll, I mean they have 300 hp and weight doesnt really matter from a role right so he should slaughter me. Oh and btw I'm stock.

You bet your *** weight matters from a roll, you still have to accelerate whatever mass you have.

My friend has a 310 at the wheels WRX that I can at least keep up with in my FD. So if he's working 300 at the fly, you might beat him.

just cause it has 300 hp doesn't mean its fast, they have a problem with a thing called turbo lag..its all high end power, from a roll, it would come down to the better driver probably, what do those weigh in at? 3300-3400 lbs? fd is what 2800lbs? 100lbs=10hp roughly, so your power to weight ration should be pretty close. and they handle alright..they understeer like a motherucker though...come out here and i'll show you a fast car in a straight line
